ILS/Landing HUD declutter

[Eagle7907]

This feature was briefly released then taken away.  Will this ever come to our viper?  No word about it and a very basic necessity for flying in instrument conditions, now that we have the new wx in the sim.

 

I remember it was released in an update, but was implemented incorrectly.  Not sure why its been dropped.

Easiest way to not be annoyed by this, is to look 12” below the HUD at mechanical instruments until MDH, then take over visually/go around if not visual with the runway.

What specifically are you referring to? Are you talking about the uncage button's function to declutter the HUD in landing mode?

Yes

That’s not the point. The point is this feature helps a pilot (player) be able to view the runway without the bank angle scale obstructing the view. Sure you can go by instruments on the ILS, but it still doesn’t help if you have symbology blocking you’re view, especially when your visibility is already limited by meteorological conditions.

For those who want to know what was wrong initially:

The ILS had to be tuned and received and when desired, you press the cage/uncage button to remove the bank angle scale. What was wrong was:

1) It should function regardless if ILS is tuned or not. (Doesn’t have to be used for ILS approach)
2) It also removes the ILS bars from the HUD when pressed.
3) When pressed again, both items will return to view.

One work around for this would be to go DED DATA switch - PFL, this will remove the bank indicator when the PFLD is inactive, something it will always be because it isn't modelled yet. Hope that helps, safe flights!

It appears to be implemented. However I can’t currently check for its completeness, but with landing gear down and in NAV mode, pressing the cage/uncage button cycles the landing HUD declutter.
